Angry MPs are keeping up the pressure on the Government over cancelled school building projects as they warned that teachers and parents faced “months and years of misery and chaos”.

MPs from Birmingham and the Black Country are demanding a full Commons debate to give them a chance to quiz the Government over the plans.

In Birmingham, building projects at 13 schools have been scrapped, but a Birmingham Mail investigation has shown that a further 57 schools will not receive the funding for work they hoped to do over the next 14 years.

There was also continued anger over the mix-up over building work at schools in Sandwell.

Sandwell Council has issued a statement claiming the Government promised to review its decision to scrap rebuilding schemes at nine schools in the borough.

But Department for Education said this was incorrect and the decision would stand.

A spokesman said Sandwell’s Building Schools for the Future projects were not being reviewed. However, the Government was reviewing school building spending in general, to see how funding could be allocated more fairly and effectively across the country in future.

The department would look at Sandwell’s plans in the light of that review, the spokesman said.
